Sensitive detectors installed along the Tokyo Bay tunnel measure muons passing through the sea above them. This allows for changes in the volume of water above the tunnel to be calculated.2022-04-13T19:37+0200vervetimes-1ee56637c3fdef4cd77f74ba21d9ea7a20220413193700https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/04/220413104201.htmIn the time it takes you to read this sentence, approximately 100,000 muon particles will have passed through your body.
